A member asked:
My daughter has a massive bruise on her calf with no injury calves are sore to touch what could this be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy bruising: The smartest way to approach this is to have a clinician examine and do some simple blood tests for clotting first. Easy bruising is not an issue unless this is the first time. Need to know more to give an informed answer such as age, family history, recent travel, diet, other important clinical info - go see your Peds doc or get to an urgent care center to get more answers
